Showdown

The hand
ticks toward noon,
main street quiets,
a voice call out  -
make my day....

Music

It brings beauty,
It brings joy.

Beauty, love, stregnth,
All of these it brings.

It hushes the songbirds,
It quiets the forest.

It fills me up,
When I hear the notes.

One-Eyed Owl

a new full moon
is a one-eyed owl
gazing upon my road
by the river, near the sea.


it quiets down
the caged chaos in me
as i step on my shadow
by the river, near the sea.

Magic Reclaimed

The power of one word
a sentence to shame
Whose meaning suborted
and magic reclaimed

Only one syllable
quiets the storm
Where poets can dream
—in beauty reborn

The Parrot Who Never Quiets

Gandalf, my parrot
   Your babble is ludicrous 
      Please SHUT THE HELL UP!


* Written for my beloved African grey parrot, Gandalf.
Has an incredibly huge vocab- but will never stay quiet!

The Night

Just when the night falls
the pain subsides, a little.
And the soul quiets.
In the night
silently hidden in my dream
I can listen to your voice
narrate of your dreams.
I can hear you sing.
Then
a new morning comes
and your song 
ends

Whisper

WHISPER

His kisses 
whisper love.

I listen
as
his bottled up
desires
flow out.

I trace
those words
slowly
achingly
dangerously
desperately steadfast.

Gasping

Still
he quiets me
hopelessly endearing
in hushed
whispers.

Sensory Overload

Dark silence I embrace

Dark silence slows the pace 

Dark silence cuts my frustration down to size

 

Dark silence quiets the chase

Dark silence relaxes my face

Dark silence cools my eyes

Tea Time

Lure of sunset quiets the soul
Mellowing hazed thoughts from day's work
Nothing but herbal tea clears mind
Oft not , caffeine- loaded Starbucks -
Peace wafts by brewing turmeric

Water Ketten

Water is always my release,
release of that impulse to dive.
Dive fish-scaled and iridescent,
 iridescent swells the water. 

Water quiets and feels like home,
home undulates but stays sacred.
Sacred like every rolling wave,
wave that binds my soul to water.

Your Not Alone

I know where you’ve been
You’re not alone
Walking through doors
Looking for signs
I know where you’ve been
You’re not alone
Room full of noise
Quiets the mind
I know where you’ve been
You’re not alone
Open your eyes
And you will find
You’re not alone
Anymore

Sound of Siren

Sirens in more than one direction.
First responders 
My soul quiets as I listen
They seem close then further away
As they leave I feel my breath leaving
And I realize I have been holding it.
I relax for a few minutes until the next siren
Perils of living in a city

Starry Night

   In a Van Gogh painting
   cheap wine and waiting
   inside our favorite cafe
   out of focus strange day
   swirling forever wars
   madness midnight stars
   satisfy my lust's desire
   quenching passion's fire
   Morphine in the vein
   quiets the war's pain.

I Have Jesus

Whatever happens on the storm-tossed way,
Whatever happens to cloud up the day,
Whatever happens to cause me dismay~

I have Jesus.

Jesus, The One Who quiets the sea
Jesus, The One Who makes the clouds flee, 
Jesus, The One Who brings hope to me~

I have Jesus.

Impatience

IMPATIENCE

it’s spring      gloomy day
and i watch from the window
strange quiets and excitements
hang in the humidity
like ghostly, long caged voices

the green explosion
has destroyed winter’s hold,
silenced the screaming,
and impatient nature
awaits a late burst of sun

Quiet Waves Winds-

whispering winds, comes a blowing whirling rushing stream shall surround me ~ a kiss breath from God's mouth miraculous touches us invisible ~ thunder screams rivals me shaking my very soul quiets waves spirit

The Heart of the Sea

Her beauty is captivating
Her ways are beguiling
Like a temptress
She stirs emotions deep within you
Yet she quiets the soul

She is strong 
Yet gentle
A force never to be ignored
She listens
But never tells
She is deep
Not shallow
She's full of wonder
And mystery
She truly is the life
And heart of the sea

I Asked For Roses

Sweet concord mellow wine
Loosening my tongue
As I tell all
To all
About you, the volcano erupting
Into my life,
Storming verbally
Crushing my heart...
But I don't cry,
Not me!
Sweet concord mellow wine quiets me
As as you claim you are mine
I ask, "Lord why me?"
"I asked for roses and you sent me a tree!"

Desire

The desire to have her, mind, body and soul rages through me like a wildfire consuming all in its path
Unlike the wildfire that engulfs everything it sees, the desire only sees her
She is all the desire wants to consume
Every inch, every fiber, constantly, until the desire quiets
Which as the desire tells me, will be never

Silent Worry

When the yellow fan quiets 
the still night creeps forward
the panic of midnight arrives.

The crickets can't carry 
a tune built on nothing
The moss fresh with dew can't help thrive.

I wonder 'till morning
I knew you before
The etchings my brain fascinates.

I pace fast and fury,
I wonder, I worry
My love is decideably late.

Yearly Celebration of Hope

the water smooths herself out,
admiring the celebration of hope
the oaks admire the decorated pine

humans have adorned her
and set her adrift in a native canoe
she parades her truth, showing love

this happens every year the oaks whisper
the forest quiets herself feeling a reverence
a soulful event that changes the ambiance of the forest

Noise

The days I cannot stand Noise So much noise Inside my head Paralyzing Immobilizing Attacking relentlessly Emotions So many emotions I know it can’t all be me But the sun sets And ends the riots People sleep The world quiets Peace Soothing peace Especially at 1 am Five hours later comes 6 And it starts all over again

A Bench In the Woods

a fine mist quiets the forest floor, an acorn drops from above, with a thud a crisp oak leaf spirals, gently to the ground a burbling brook, feeds it's trout in a while, my heart joins in .... and worries drift away

Smother Me Or Just Like You

You speak without words,
talk slowly, with fingertips
gorging on my soul;
As you strum I start to hum 
sighing ever so sweetly;

Diabolical,
your anger excited me;
A moth to a flame, 
ecstasy a brief smother 
with that dark velour blanket;

Empty, crying out
my sound quiets the silence;
Subdues the restlessness
over and over again;
Now you know I’m a psycho.

Just like you .
